Education and Certification Update
www.apics-prsj.org/Education.htm
by John Zoller, CFPIM, CIRM

APICS Certification has always been recognized by business leaders as a benchmark of professional performance. Whether CPIM (Certified in Production and Inventory Management), CFPIM (Certified Fellow in Production and Inventory Management), CIRM (Certified in Integrated Resource Management) or the new CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional), many APICS professionals have the job experience, subject knowledge, and have passed the proficiency examinations necessary to earn the use of these designations after their name.

At the Princeton South Jersey Chapter (PRSJ) of APICS, you too can earn these Certifications with the help of the education classes offered at our East Windsor and Mt. Laurel locations. While CIRM is no longer being offered by APICS, the PRSJ is currently holding classes for CPIM DSP (Detailed Scheduling and Planning) and the increasingly popular CSCP program.

The next class starting dates are planned as follows:

December 3rd in East Windsor, CPIM ECO (Execution and Control of Operations)
January 7th in Mt. Laurel, CPIM DSP (Detailed Scheduling and Planning)
January 5th and 7th in Mt. Laurel and East Windsor respectively CPIM BSCM (Basics of Supply Chain Management).

CSCP classes will return in early March at both locations. Our classes are taught by APICS Master Instructors who look forward to seeing you earn your APICS Certification.

The 11 students will take their CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Professional) exam on 12/12.

John Zoller, Director of Corporate Compliance for Shiseido offered the class a tour of the facility. We saw perfume filling, lipstick filling, the warehouse, and the alcohol products manufacturing room. John also explained the basic business structure of Shiseido and how & where components are purchased, processed, and distributed to customers world-wide.

Following the tour we had a pizza dinner.

The class for the evening was Module 2 section D, Logistics. During our class we were able to apply the real world of Shiseido to many of the individual topics.
